And here are four pictures of a beautiful plant.
Mr Colmenares believes the previous picture is not Ananas lucidus
But I think it probably is.
It represents what we at larger latitudes often have to settle for.
I was pleased to get even that!And Mr. Colmenares says, "Ananas lucidus has slender, stiff and spineless leaves of coppery reddish brown color.
Its fruit is bright red and near a tennis ball in size."
